Solitune - Acceptance.

http://youtu.be/Zs4mkL7STu8

You lending an ear is greatly appreciated. :) Thank you. 

I wrote a new song. Your listening is appreciated. <3 

I’ve only began writing songs this year in January and it stemmed from my personal hardships. I was going through a lot. Now that the year is almost over, I reflect and see that my life has changed for the better. This song is about acceptance of past relationship issues and the thought process of the pain behind the memories of a relationship and trying to move on. Hope you can appreciate it and thank you in advance for listening. :) 

Lyrics:

These memories are but a thing that I cannot erase

The preservation, only painful, it leaves a bitter taste

I try to push forward, you push me right back

The weight of a heavy rock makes me feel trapped

But you’re not here, see that’s the trippy part now

How can you ever control me if you’re never around

The thought of you changes everything and I cannot rewind

The broken ending, sirens heard, and a thousand goodbyes

I feel you cannot let go, and maybe I can’t too

But life keeps going, even if you don’t want it to

We can sit here, head down, feeling sorry for ourselves

Or we can get up, break free, and rebuild us right here

Not together, but separate, you cannot be dependent

On the projections of expectations we never met

Look forward, independent, we can both stand tall

Keep your head up high no matter if you fall

Don’t mind me, I’m a thing of the past

Don’t waste precious time on what didn’t last

They come and they go, we all end up different

But that doesn’t mean that life isn’t worth it

I won’t mind you, I’ve learned to let go

Let’s say our farewells for it’s a long road

Let there be no love, Let there be no hate

Accept all that happens, accept our mistakes

The song used to flow over is from a Tribute to Nujabes album. You can find the beautiful song here:

Solitune - Shiki No Uta (old ass recording from a few years ago)

I need to re-record this.

This is me singing Shiki no Uta three years ago. I think my voice is more developed now so I think I would do a better job. It’s just a matter of getting rid of fatigue and getting more time. But no worries. Since I’m getting laid off soon, the time will come, right? XD

I still will never forget when I randomly did it at Fanime. Haha. Good times.

Solitune - Shiki no Uta Cover feat. Beatboxing Domo-Kun

http://youtu.be/HjugMivZUQQ

I went to Fanime on a Sunday. It was pretty fun. Hung out in the karaoke room for open mic. It was cool. At first the crowd was pretty mellow but met up with a bunch of hype folks and together we cheered everybody on stage. Later the karaoke system needed to be restarted and they opened up the stage to acapella karaoke performances. So I volunteered to sing and invited a guy dressed in a Domo-Kun costume who was beatboxing earlier to beatbox for me while I sing. The experience was pretty awesome and the crowd was quite hype! Apparently I was hype too! Haha.

Thank you Domo-kun! Your beatbox was really awesome. Glad we were in sync even though we just met a few minutes before that. Hella random!

Mad props to homeboy Anthony for recording this on his phone like a bausss.

[I know I said I’d “make something up” but I meant to say “I will just wing it” since I’m not sure of my knowledge of the exact lyrics of Shiki no Uta XD]

Solitune - I Used To Love You

Beat: Nujabes - Beyond

Lyrics:

Invested everything I ever knew right into you
Gave up my all so that you could sit back and enjoy the view
My every breath was for your taking, Eyes wide open, see you waking
But betrayal had me awaken to my knees, the ground was shaking

Took the rug right underneath me, couldn’t even see it coming—-
Who knew what I thought was comfort could become my greatest fall
Once a great love, epic journey, romance novel, all our glory, to the ground, I’m left unworthy, to you I’m beckoned

Yet disrespected, I see you holding hands with that girl
As if we didn’t matter, rather, a dream was deferred
And you were ready to give up even through all this time
Your sense of struggle, your sadness, I lived your heart with mine
And yet clearly not worth fighting for and because of you
I’m left forsaken, mistaken, your back turned on the truth
I’m feeling stupid, misguided, and crying, angered and saddened,
No words that lash from my mouth, could ever sum up the heartache

And do you even give a damn about how I feel?
Do you acknowledge all your faults as we climb up the hill?
Can you stop blaming everything that has happened on me?
Would you just stop being selfish and give apologies?
Cuz that’s what I’ve done, you gone and had your fun
Just know that consequences await for you under the sun
I know it’s all bad, I’ve done wrong too, but you can’t hide your emotions, expect to find you

I used to love you, Deep down I still do
But I can’t keep on holding onto what you undo
You say you hate me, You say you don’t care
And we just gotta learn that loving isn’t always fair
